Usa Industrials BULK-PS-PTFE-62 Virgin Ptfe Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-PTFE-62 is a virgin-grade polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bar stock used in industrial, mechanical, and fluid-handling fabrication work. Measuring 0.375 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 24 inches long, this rectangular bar is cut to a manageable length suited for shop or field machining. Virgin PTFE carries no recycled content, which translates to consistent chemical resistance, low friction, and thermal stability across a wide service range. Fabricators, machinists, and trade technicians working in plumbing, chemical handling, or mechanical sealing applications reach for virgin PTFE when inert, non-contaminating material properties are required. The white color is standard for virgin-grade material and aids visual identification on the shop floor.

This PTFE bar stock is used wherever a chemically resistant, low-friction, non-metallic material is needed for custom-cut parts. Common applications include machined gaskets, slide pads, bearing surfaces, valve seats, thread seal components, and spacer blocks in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial process equipment. The 24-inch length provides enough stock to yield multiple cut pieces per bar. Its rectangular profile simplifies fixturing for milling, drilling, or lathe operations without additional pre-machining steps.

Key Features

• Virgin PTFE construction with no recycled content for consistent material properties
• Rectangular bar profile: 0.375 inches thick, 1 inch wide, 24 inches long
• White color standard for virgin-grade PTFE, aiding material identification
• Broad chemical resistance suitable for aggressive fluid and vapor environments
• Low coefficient of friction supports bearing, slide, and seal fabrication
• Dimensional tolerance of plus or minus 0.060 inches for consistent stock sizing

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose virgin PTFE bar stock for custom fabrication of gaskets, seals, spacers, and mechanical components in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial process applications.

Installation Notes

Machining of PTFE bar stock is typically performed by machinists or trade fabricators using standard cutting, drilling, or milling equipment. PTFE machines easily but requires sharp tooling and appropriate chip clearance to avoid deformation from heat buildup. No solvent bonding is possible with PTFE; mechanical fastening or press-fit methods are used for assembly. Always follow applicable safety standards when machining fluoropolymer materials, including adequate ventilation to avoid inhalation of any generated particles or dust.
